无论是守卫广阔的疆土,还是发动大规模的远征,抑或是平定内外的叛乱和镇压附属国的反叛,亚述帝国都需要组织一支规模庞大的军队。然而,由于人口基数小,战争伤亡和兵役的豁免等原因,亚述本身可以应征的人数却在减少,因此它不得不通过收编俘虏、征召异族流放者、附属国士兵和阿拉姆部落成员入伍等途径扩大兵源。尽管非亚述士兵扩大了亚述帝国军队的规模,但是由于他们的民族饱受亚述的虐待,他们做出重大牺牲却无缘与亚述人一起分享战利品,于是他们消极对待亚述的征召,非亚述士兵军纪败坏,因此,他们并没有从根本上增强亚述帝国的军事实力。 Whether guarding a vast territory, launching large-scale expeditions, or settling insurgencies both internally and externally, and suppressing the rebellion of the dependent countries, the Assyrian empire needs to organize a large-scale army. However, due to the small population base, war casualties and exemptions from military service, the number of available assaults by Assyria itself has decreased, so it has had to recruit prisoners, enlist exiles, annexed soldiers and members of the Aramaic tribes, etc. Way to expand sources. Although non-Assyrian soldiers expanded the size of the Assyrian army, their assault on Assyria was negative because they were greatly subjected to Assyria’s abuse and had made significant sacrifices but missed the sharing of the spoils with the Assyrians. Non-Assyrian soldiers were corrupt and therefore they did not fundamentally increase the military power of the Assyrian empire.
